Ultra GPS Logger is a GPS Tracker which allows you to generate NMEA, KML and/or GPX logs with your GPS or GLONASS enabled Android device. It is able to keep GPS on during standby, which enables logging of a long period of time without the need of interaction with the device.

Ultra GPS Logger logs raw NMEA sentences! This is much more accurate than other products which just log every minute... It also supports intelligent KML/GPX output, which logs only real movement. Ultra GPS Logger also lets your device vibrate and flash its led in case the GPS fix is lost. Furthermore it represents your track on Google Map or Open Street Map!

User feedback is highly appreciated. Ultra GPS Logger is used for a variety of activities, like hiking, sailing, car / motorcycle / yacht racing or geotagging. Let me know what you use Ultra GPS Logger for :-))

It does exactly what it says it does in a consistent and reliable way. I've used it for a couple of years and it has never let me down. I use it to keep track of my location when I'm taking pictures with a dslr camera. When I'm finished taking pictures, I upload a gpx file from the app to Dropbox, then use the maps feature in Lightroom to geotag the pictures.

Great for bikes/trains/airplanes, gives analysis tool compatible files for later detailed analysis, only issue is if you get the demo version and later purchase the full version you need to remove the demo version or otherwise manually identify it as it won't recognize the full version is installed and limits you if opened instead of the full version.

Used to work. Does not work at all after the latest update. I have been using this app for a few years and it worked flawlessly. Now after the last update it does not work at all On one of my last two rides it had stopped completely when I finished the ride. And there was no sign of the track at all. On the other ride it stopped logging after 10 meters. The app also does not exit when I select exit from the menu. It stays in my notifications connected to the gps using up battery Only way to make it stop is force exit. Please bring back the old 5 star version.

Probably you got an Android 10 update and did not take care to provide proper permissions. Checkout: http://energysettings.ultragpslogger.com and assure to 'Allow locations all the time' permisson. UGL needs this permission in order to log while the screen is turned off or the app runs in background.
